Can't say I know one way or another, but the place he was lost is rugged, rugged and then rugged. And cold....when it first happened I thought...he'll be OK...he's a UK lad....it'll be like summer for him (unless he falls off a cliff)....as I said, it's really dangerous country. Had to wonder, if he ended up walking out 11 days later, why didn't he walk out sooner.
They're airing the story on Current Affair in Australia on Sunday night...I'll post a link for you.....but no doubt it will be syndicated to the UK once it airs......who knows....most of what today is about it seems, is having 15 minutes of fame....so anything's possible.
Why do the UK folk think it's a hoax?
